Well, I received confirmation today, I will be reunited with an old friend. I bought this coin from MFH in 2010. I started to do a quarter set but migrated off to do a half set. (Yes, I know what you are all thinking, "Justin, can't stay focused? Noooooooooooooo not him....") Anyways, I noticed an odd bump below 1 in the date. I sent pics to Steve Hustad of the BCCS who placed it in the Journal. Some of you may remember the one. Long story short, not long after it was put in there, a friend of mine started a quarter set. I sold him most of the ones I had including this one. I always said I wanted to buy it back if he ever sold. Fast forward, he recently consigned his quarters to Glenn Holsonbake. My friend and I completely forgot about this 05 until about two Saturdays ago. Mike had mentioned to me about a variety and it clicked in my head. So I contacted Glenn and he said it's mine...for the second time. It won't be leaving again.
Regarding the 1/1905. I am curious to hear the opinions of anyone here that would like to share. Steve seems to think it is remnants of a repunched one. I have heard others say it was simply a die chip. I have no clue, but I could always bring it to a BCCS meeting at Baltimore if anyone would like to see it closer.

For inspiration only, some slightly better images of my PC45 than I was able to conjure up when it came back from grading a few months ago. Let us know what you find out there, I know I'd be curious.
We're all born MS70. I'm about a Fine 15 right now.
Yeah, it does look like one of those pesky little New Orleans wood chip divots but in reality it's an optical illusion. The top line is toning and the one under it is a pin scratch. Thanks for the kind words.

Here is a recent newp. I had a difficult time locating appealing XF or AU examples of this date for quite a while, and then suddenly stumbled into 2 that I liked in a four week span. Couldn't resist taking a stab at this one and ended up the happy new owner. As usual, my pics are not the best but hopefully will give a decent representation. PC50

Justin - Very nice looking '05 qtr. I'm in the remnant on a digit camp.
Dennis - Glad to get a better peek at your latest 09-O. It's really a nice one, and it's amazing how much that looks like a strike thru. You are the king of XF/AU 09-O's.
JT - Good looking 93-S, congrats on a tough one.

You guys continue to make the tough B-quarters look easy - very nice coins, one and all.

LOL - I bet! Have him check prices in the real world, like Heritage Auctions. Those coins don't sell cheap. Well, unless you are willing to settle for a drecky raw example like this one I got a few months ago, that I posted on the main forum:

I'll settle for it anytime. Nice original 09-O WalkerGuy
Dennis - Your old 55 (now safely tucked in the Iowa collection) is not on the market, mine isn't either but could be had for a price (like many of my coins). I've found that keeping my collection dynamic, adds to the enjoyment of the hobby. And I still have the pics.
Since I haven't posted these in a while, below are the only two PC55's, Iowa collection first:
Vern l It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
I can only go on Thursday. Sorry I won't be able to meet you, JT. Maybe the rest of us can pick a spot and time to shake hands and play show and tell. Open to suggestions.
Brand new here, and thought I will share some of my barbers with . I'm currently working on a Barber half Dansco album in grades of G-6 to VG-8 (though there may be some F-12's ) with an emphasis on originality. I've taken the summer seminar's "The Coinage of Charles Barber" class by Mike and Glenn last summer, and I believe I met Vern at the recent Baltimore show.

<< <i>Damn nice Quarter Justin. Looks like a die chip to me. So when ya gonna start collecting halves again?
Thank you.
And maybe I have and maybe I haven't. I am sure as much as you pay attention to auction sites and eBay you would know if I am.

Very nice coin and scarce,Thank you for showing it.
High end 45....if any luster not being seen in the photo possibly an AU coin either way you have a spectacular coin

Looks like a strike through to me and probably held the coin back from AU-50. Nice coin and looks to have quite a bit of luster!
Thanks for the kind words.

Oooh! Is my old 55 back on the market?
Are BOTH 55's on the market?
What a hoot that would be.
Walkerguy, nothing drecky about that one! Got that nice, "spent 50 years in a leather pouch" look.

that coin in Fine or higher grades.
